We are very pleased to be letting you know about an exciting event that is happening on Saturday, March 9, 2013, in Winchester MA. We are having a “Community Reinvestment Day – A Discussion of Innovative and Thoughtful Approaches Toward Balancing Money, Society and the Environment.”

We are fortunate to be joined by both an impressive group of experts for a 90-minute panel discussion on socially responsible investing, and three courageous advocates for a public bank in MA who will give a very thought provoking hour-long presentation. There will also be exhibits from organizations like the Sustainable Business Network of MA, Rainbow Solutions, and many others. We will be offering everyone a light lunch of homemade soup and conversation, as well.

This event, inspired in part by CRY 2013 (Community Reinvestment Year 2013), located here, is being co-sponsored by Occupy Winchester and Sustainable Winchester and is taking place in Metcalf Hall at the Winchester Unitarian Society. We hope to have a good turnout from all over the Boston area as well as from Winchester. We really hope that you will be able to join us!

Our one page flyer with details of the event can be accessed at the this url.

Please feel free to circulate our flyer to anyone you think might be interested in this event.

Help make our work possible!

Dear Interoccupy Supporter:

We are an independent, ad-free, all volunteer communications working group that has served the burgeoning grassroots movement for social justice every day for the past five years, and we're asking for your support.

Our organization is special because we make it our priority to build communications infrastructure where there is none. Our focus is to help build power through connecting and coordinating the massive, spontaneous, and transformative energy that has erupted in the US since the advent of the Occupy Movement.

Interoccupy ( IO ) is proud of our unglamorous support of the movement. We're dedicated to the ongoing provision of free conference calls and websites to any grassroots group that needs them.

We do all of this with zero budget and an all volunteer crew. It is only possible with your support. We know it is likely you don’t have a lot to spare, but anything and everything helps. Please do your part today. It takes just a couple of minutes to make sure that Interoccupy.net is there for you and everybody else in 2017.

Follow up and new calls for a variety of groups post-DNC in July, and post-election in Nov.

Tech Assistants on Conference Calls

In 2015, IO tech assistants were called upon to assist on racial and social justice maestro calls for other groups. We have helped tech and train new maestro tech assitants for SURJ (Showing up for Racial Justice), Ferguson Action Network, grassroots Bernie organizing groups, and in 2016, TAs for the People's Convention in Philadephia, as well as continuing to help SURJ, and Movement for Black Lives. Trainings are still free. We ask trainees to pay this free skill forward by teching at least one call for a group other than their own. We provide an email list and call spreadsheet to facilitate this collective work.
